Protesters in Cincinnati Denounce IRS

By Dionne Searcey

CINCINNATI—About 300 people gathered Tuesday for a short, angry rally outside the federal building here that houses the unit of the IRS embroiled in a scandal over workers improperly scrutinizing the charity applications of politically conservative groups.

Holding signs that said “Internal Rigging Service” and “Tyranny” and shouting chants of “You work for us!” and “IRS! KGB!” the group included many members of the local Tea Party organization who demanded punishment for those who were involved.

“Heads have to roll here,” said one protester, Kevin Tinsley, who works in advertising sales and said everyone from President Barack Obama down to the lowest level workers in the IRS determinations unit must be held accountable for the targeting of tea party groups.

“The IRS thing, it’s not America, and we’re sick of it,” Mr. Tinsley said before letting loose with a string of swear words.

Mr. Tinsley and many others had come to the protest over their lunch breaks and were greeted with honking horns from a few supporting motorists passing by. They marched about a block from a downtown plaza to the stoop of the federal building where they sang patriotic songs and recited the Pledge of Allegiance. Many IRS workers had decided to work from home in anticipation of the rally, according to a former IRS employee who had been in touch with old colleagues.

That’s why we need their names and addresses. FOIA requests for IRS names and addresses, they have ours.

This is direct action. The only thing that puts these anti-American slime back on their heels. Worked with the redcoats too.

Those of your who own restaurants, bars, or other small businesses...start implementing an "IRS Employee Discount With Proper ID" policy...

Yeah, the left shows up on people’s lawns to protest.

It’s time they felt a little “intimidation” of their own.

Now, had it been a left-wing protest, the media would have described it as “thousands of righteously angry protestors”.

Doubt if Tea Party members are so stupid as to 1) think like that 2) act on it 3) say it out loud.

...so they can apply guilt-by-association, a logical fallacy.

(Does anyone know or study formal logic anymore?)
